I can give you an example. Recently, a New York Times' article describes the town of Selinsgrove in Pennsylvania.
我可以给你举个例子。最近《纽约时报》的一篇文章写了宾夕法尼亚的锡林斯格罗夫镇。
You see, in the last ten years, things have barely changed in that town. The population has dropped by one from 5, 384 to 5, 383, and the town remains virtually 100% white.
在过去的十年里,这个小镇几乎没什么变化。人口从5384人下降至5383人,几乎全是白人。
The article thus concludes that many portions of the country remain like Selinsgrove virtually unchanged on this march towards diversity.
文章因此得出结论,就多样性方面而言,这个国家许多地方都像锡林斯格罗夫镇一样几乎没有什么变化。
So regions vary in terms of the degree and types of diversity. That's correct.
所以不同地区多样性的程度和类型也不一样。是的。
Let's see, there are 3 types of diversity in the U.S. and they differ from region to region. Could you elaborate on that? OK. The first is the racial diversity.
美国有三种类型的多样性,而每个地区的多样性都不同。你可以详细说明一下吗?好的。第一种是种族多样性。
States with the most racially diverse populations stand in stark contrast to those with the least racially diverse populations.
人口最具种族多样性的州和人口种族多样性最不明显的州差距很大。
Umm, let's look at two states, California and Maine. From 1990 to 2000, California's Caucasian population, mainly non-Hispanic whites declined from 57% to 48%.
